Next, he summoned the ghost of Eddie Guerrero, by hitting three "Future Shock" DDTs similar to the "Three Amigos".
Now, he just did his Undertaker "Air Deadman" routine by diving over the top rope to hit Lashley after "The Almighty" dodges a Claymore attempt from McIntyre.
Now, he's getting his Lesnar on by doing the Kimora Lock.
I knew this would be much better than last year (not that it could be much worse). But, Lashley and McIntyre are putting on a show.
Lashley has his "Hurt Lock" full nelson hold and.....WOW!!! McIntyre went night-night and Lashley WINS!!
Maybe we'll have a new streak, as I believe Lashley is 2-0 at WrestleMania.

Never mind! I forgot Lashley lost in the Money In the Bank match at WM22.

I was happy to see Bobby and Roman retain. Everyone expected one of those titles to change. Sasha and Belair had a fabulous match, glad to see that they are giving Belair a chance with the ball. Shane's bumps are show stoppers...no pun intended....but he better tune it down...he's in his last 40's. Not sure what they are doing with Bray but it seems like they are slowly killing off the Fiend...TBH, I was happy Orton won. He still has a lot of gas in the tank.

Back in the day, it was a given that whoever held the "Big Gold Belt" was going to get BEAT at 'Mania It happened six years in a row (2004-2009), ESPECIALLY if the world champ was on Smackdown.
If my math is correct, since WWE had two belts, only THREE TIMES have both champions retained the World/Universal title and WWE title respectively: WM 27 (Edge and Miz); WM 34 (Lesnar and Styles) and WM 37 (Reigns and Lashley).
That includes the "Undisputed WWF/WWE World Heavyweight Championship" (the merger of the two belts) with Helmsley, Bryan, Rollins, and Reigns winning at WMs 18, 30, 31, and 32, respectively.
Then again, it was worse in the 90s. Only ONE WWF champion had a successful title defense; that is, he left WrestleMania with the title (so Yoko's first WM 10 title defense against Luger doesn't count): Diesel, WM 11.
Babyface challengers ALWAYS won the gold: Warrior, Hogan (2x), Savage, Hart, Michaels, Taker, Austin (2x).
Heel champs were DOOMED: Slaughter, Flair, Yokozuna, Michaels, Rock.
Of course, three of those were face vs. face matches (Hogan-Warrior, Hart-Michaels, Sid-Undertaker). That also explains WM 11, because Michaels was a heel.
